How it works
- STEP 1
Send photographs
Snap the pallet and packaging disposal at your Chatteris address and send it on WhatsApp. Photographs are the single biggest factor in quote accuracy — the more you send, the tighter the fixed price.
- STEP 2
Receive a fixed price
We assess volume, weight and access, then confirm a written figure covering the agreed labour, transport and disposal requirements for your collection in Chatteris. Any change in scope is discussed before work continues.
- STEP 3
Choose your slot
Same-day, next-day, weekend and evening windows are offered subject to vehicle availability. You get a confirmed window rather than an all-day wait.
- STEP 4
We load and clear
The crew arrives with the correct vehicle, loads everything by hand, and sweeps up. The collected pallet and packaging disposal from Chatteris is weighed and documented at a licensed facility afterwards.
What affects the price
Pallet & Packaging Disposal starts from £130. Your fixed price is confirmed once we have seen photographs.
- Location — travel beyond the included mileage is charged at the vehicle rate
- Volume — how much of the van the load actually fills
- Weight — dense material such as rubble, soil and concrete costs more at the gate
- Waste type — recycling routes are cheaper than general disposal
- Access — stairs, long carries and restricted parking add labour time
- Timing — weekend, evening and emergency slots carry an uplift

What we do and do not take
We collect and dispose. We are not a pallet pooling operator and do not buy, repair or return pallets into a hire network, and we do not handle contaminated or chemically treated packaging.
All waste is collected by registered waste carriers and taken to licensed facilities. Waste transfer documentation is provided where applicable.
Pallet & Packaging Disposal FAQs
Can you collect pallets weekly in Chatteris?
Yes. Recurring collections are priced per visit once we know the volume, which is almost always cheaper than reactive one-offs.
Do you pay for pallets?
No. Broken pallets have a disposal cost, not a resale value — anyone promising otherwise is usually cherry-picking the good ones.
Is cardboard recycled?
Yes, clean dry cardboard goes into a recycling stream and is priced lower than mixed waste because of it.
Why do you ask for photographs?
Because guessing is how customers get stung. Photographs let us size the Chatteris vehicle, crew and disposal route correctly, so the price we quote for your pallet and packaging disposal is the price you pay.
What happens to the waste after collection?
It goes to a licensed transfer station where it is separated. Recoverable material from Chatteris collections is recycled, and only the residual fraction goes to final disposal.
Do I need to be there?
Not always. If the pallet and packaging disposal is accessible from outside at the Chatteris property, we can collect with photographs, written instructions and payment agreed in advance.
Is this cheaper than hiring a skip in Chatteris?
Frequently. There is no permit to buy, no driveway lost for a week, and you only pay for the space the waste actually occupies. For small and medium pallet and packaging disposal loads in Chatteris, a wait-and-load collection usually wins on both price and speed.
Which Chatteris postcodes do you cover for pallet and packaging disposal?
Yes. Our pallet and packaging disposal covers the whole of Chatteris, including the PE16 postcode district around the town centre and the surrounding area. We also collect from neighbouring Mepal (4.6 miles), Witcham (5.9 miles) and March (6.5 miles) — distances are straight-line from Chatteris. Send your postcode with photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm the fixed price before booking.

Moving as well as clearing in Chatteris?
Clearances often sit either side of a move. If you need the furniture that is staying taken to a new address in Chatteris, that is a removals job rather than a waste job — and it is priced separately.
